Pierre Magnan was born in Manosque in 1922 and has rarely left his native Provence. In 1943, during the Occupation, he fought with the Resistance in the Is re, and in 1946 he published his first novel, L'Aube Insolite. During his lifetime he published over twenty novels, four of which have so far been translated into English. He died in May 2012, at the age of 89.
This is an extraordinary novel by an extraordinary writer- his writing is hard, lucid, muscular, his characters of mythic proportions * Scotsman * Once again Magnan captures beautifully the feel of Provence, with its sunbaked landscapes, its mysteries and its edge of danger. Superb * Observer * The master of Provencal Gothic * Independent *
